Seeking emergency medical care in the community, time-critical patients presenting with stroke symptoms to Paramedics are now routinely conveyed to specialist hyper-acute stroke centres. Paramedics, at the forefront of pre-hospital emergency care, are well placed to begin this ultra-acute intervention to this high-risk patient group.

RIGHT-2 will also work with stroke centres across the UK who receive emergency ambulance admissions to continue the treatment with GTN patch or sham patch for three further days. The patient outcome will be measured using the modified Rankin Scale to determine death, the level of dependence or independence at 90 and 365 days post stroke.

If you are interested in having your centre join the trial, please fill in an Expression of Interest form and send to the Coordinating Centre as per details at bottom of form.

April 2017, DMC recommend continuation and urge 4 days of treatment to be given where possible!
